That's partially my point. In cities where there is only one team, it is the provincial "we." In New York, with multiple teams in every sport, that is usually watered down. You don't get the blatant homerism. Would Mike Francesa be able to exist in any other city, if he was as critical of their ONE NFL franchise as he is the Jets?
Joe and Evan sang along to it the other day when Fats was away, it was the worst but yet funniest thing I've ever heard. Beningo: "He'll give you da spawts, any way dat he can" but with a thicker accent
Lmao, almost went exactly like that too. Tank's interviews are comedy gold. I ask youuuu questions and den answah dem myself!
Shows how much Francesa's power at the station has diminished. Nobody would dare do that a few years ago, for fear of termination.
Francesa's new favorite word is "conviction" Da Jets need to play wid sum conviction! Rex Ryan hasn't learned to be a head coach yet, he needs maw conviction! Da Steeliz defense plays wid conviction!
Mike's picks: Jaguawz +5 Dallas -6 Tamper Bay -5.5 Lol, I love how Tank always has the best line possible for his picks. He doesn't even use the same book for his picks. He goes out to multiple books and makes sure he's riding the best line possible. I'd like to know where exactly he's getting Dallas -6. That line is practically -7 everywhere right now. You'd have a hard time finding -6.5 right now let alone -6 which is of course a key number and Mike somehow avoided laying with the hook and the TD.
It's certainly not in the city that I live in... maybe Dallas opened minus 6 but I haven't seen anything close to that.
Dallas is favored by 6 in the Yahoo pick 'ems which is where I pick. Tampa Bay is favored by 6. Off the top of my head, I don't know what was the line for the Colts game. On numerous occasions I have heard Francesa say that he only uses the lines from the Daily News.
It won't matter on Monday because he'll just lie about his picks. Too bad for Fatty that guy at mikefrancesa.com is keeping track of mike's real record. Otherwise he'd be better able to keep exaggerating his record. http://njfrogman.blogspot.com/2010/11/mike-francesa-fudging-his-nfl-picks.html Week 15: Mike (19-21-5): Jaguars (+5) at Colts Cowboys (-6) v.

It's midnight and Fatcessa is laying naked next to his wife . She senses he's saying something and removes her ear plugs and blinder and he's still talking about the Jets.
I think both teams make the playoffs. As for Francessa and his Jets rants he is catering to the masses of Giant fans who were bothered by people like Tierney and Carton who made this big deal of who's town it is. Most Giant fans I know don't care and actually worry more about our team than what the Jets do. I have plenty of good friends and loved ones who are Jet fans, so as I see it I hope they do well for my family and friends. I root against the Jets once every 4 years, when they play the Giants, its that simple. In fact any Giant fan with half a brain should be upset that the Jets lost to the Packers and wil root like hell for them to beat the Bears next week. People must realize, folks who call radio shows are bllithering idiots who really have no lives. Take Ira from Staten Island for instance? I saw him get get quoted in the papers the week of Super Bowl 42 how he hates the Giants and Pats? Really? Seriously? If the Jets played the Colwboys in a Super Bowl or the Eagles or the Vikings for that matter I would root for the Jets.
uh ohzzz when he's in da building then all his opinions on the knicks for the rest of the season will be solely based off this game. last year he went to the pawtland game and that's all he talked about the rest of the season.
